Easter Island

by Dr. Marklalos D. Capuano



Easter Island is about 64 square miles in length and width (It's like a Triangle, gone wrong) but the island was actually flat, well until they put the statues there.).The island is about 2.3k miles from Chile west coast. The island is also about 2.5k miles from Tahiti’s East coast, which means the island is in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. About 1,000 years ago there was a person that discovered Easter Island, that person also discovered these weird statues called Moai (Mo-Hi)

This Island was full of trees hundreds of years ago, but there was something that happen to the trees, nobody really knows what happened, but people think that it was home to a colony and the people who lived in that colony cut down all of the trees, so then the tree stumps were covered and eroded by air and water over time. Another theory is totally different thing that there was something that was like the bubonic plague(It was a plague that happened in the 1400's to the 1500's) that was caused by diseased rats that were thought to be brought by dutch explorers that came to the island, they were also thought to bring the infestation to the island and spread it across the land so that is why there is no civilizations there, but you can visit today!

Why is Easter Island an Enigma you say? Well I'm going to get to that question. Easter Island is and Enigma because The Island has no proof whatsoever about what happened to the statue and to the materials they use to move them (Moai).
Then since there is no trees that means there’s no hope for Homo sapiens, our modern beings. They had to try to farm with no wood, and that was a disaster! So they all had no peoplz and there has been no living civilization that has come back and planted trees, or better yet, tried to civilize there. So because of that, Easter Island just a tourist hotspot! So back to the facts… According to the University of California, Los Angeles, the residents of Easter Island had bad luck with farming, but for another reason… A scientist at UCLA named diamond predicts that the top layer of Terra Forma at the island had disintegrate and that was the good soot, so the bad feculence was feeding the trees and taking its nutrience so then it’s like taking water from a person for a year, they would die.

Easter Island is also known as a scientific term Rapa Nui. The island was named Paaseiland (Pey-See-Lund) by some Dutch (German) Explorers in honor of the island in 1772. It was annexed (The definition is append or add as an extra or subordinate part) by Chile in the 19th century A.D(Anno Domini) and it still maintains over 900 huge stonework statue’s also known as Moai (Mo-Hi) that were made epoch AGO!!! The Easter simulacrum’s look to be made by master craftsman and engineers, the statues are distinctly HUGE against Polynesian sculptures! Easter Island a lot of other things on it like hotels, beaches, even an international airport (EIIA)!!!

The island has other mysteries like where did they get the stone for the structures and how did they transport it all around the island, did they get really strong men? Did they get wagons with some really strong beasts like a mule or horse or even a whole bunch of people to move it? Or did they get other intelligent life from in the stars like extraterrestrial beings? Some scientists believe this and some believe other things, I personally think that they were helped by extraterrestrial beings but they could amaze us with what they could do back then with no cars or planes or trains or even big enough boats to carry that stuff, unless they amaze us again, and they could have done that back then by getting big boats that could fit little by little and ship all of the cargo to the parts of the island that needed it. They could have also developed power like the Egyptians with using fruit and vegetables, but then again how would they know that if they couldn't even make good boats to transfer the rock, plus they would need food and clean water to eat and drink or they would die from either starvation or thirst. So I guess that’s just another thing we can’t solve with modern items. So that means that they either use a really good boat or use a supernatural item like a spaceship or a speedboat when back then would be like somebody invented a flying car today or in the 1960’s someone went to the moon or made a car in the 1910s’ or electricity in the 1750’s or computers in the 1970’s and many more. So we know a lot about Easter island, but there is still a lot to know, like where did the tree’s go and where did the population go or how did they even make the Moai and better yet transport them, but we also know what it has and what it is made of but there’s a lot of things in life you don’t know and may never find out, and this may be one of them, but we may find out at a later date, even though that some people think that there are different things about what happened there like the Rats or the hidden stone mines, but we might never know, or we could find outToday, or tomorrow, or the next day, or the day after that, or maybe the one after that one, or the next day, or after then, or even never. So if you are looking for a place to have a vacation, have fun, or even just see something horrifically epical, then go to this place called Easter Island, and as always, Thanks for reading!
